World Record Holder

By age 17, Bonnie Hancock had already become a professional IronWoman. Today, she has competed in 9 Nutri-Grain IronWoman Series and represented Australia in surf lifesaving.

In 2020 Bonnie read a book about a previous circumnavigation of Australia by paddle. By 2022 she completed a grueling 12,700-kilometer journey around Australia in a surf ski. Along the way, Bonnie dealt with treacherous conditions as she paddled past uninhabited coastline and confronted the most remote parts of Australia. She was followed by crocodiles, faced sharks, and dealt with hypothermia, nausea, and sea sickness. If that wasn’t enough, she also had to overcome logistical challenges and changes in her support crew. Despite that, she completed her journey and became the fastest paddler to ever circumnavigate the continent, the first Australian woman to circumnavigate the continent by paddle, and the youngest person to do so.

Along with those records, she also holds the world record for the longest 24-hour paddle, covering a distance of 235 kilometers. In those 24 hours, Bonnie only took 2 15-minute breaks. 

Community Leader

Additionally, Bonnie is an ambassador for Gotcha4Life and a speaker on leadership and mental health. In Bonnie’s words “being fit and healthy not only means physically, but mentally too. In a year where the importance of mental health has never been so critical, I want to do my part in raising awareness and vital funds for Gotcha4Life, an Australian not-for-profit foundation that delivers mental fitness programs that engage, educate, and empower local communities.”
